I am only one

I am only one
the mayor - snorring in his bed
so is his wife next to him
the watchman - pathetically wet
walking slowly in the strong rain
the beams are squeaking
the rain is filling the pond
some of the clay is breaking
the wall is fighting to protect the lives beyond
the parson resting
the church laying in silence
the words it heard before - no jesting...
it was preached violence!
small rills breaking through
the night so loud, so dark
those who notice the sounds are few
but ignored is their bark
the rich merchant dreaming
on his face still a smile
next to him his wife's face still gleaming
from their deed so vile
the water is roaring
under the deafening cloak of the storm
the giant wave is soaring
nothing below stands a chance - not even a worm
the teacher awake with sorrow
you all knew it was no theft
she is afraid to see in the morrow
of my liveless body what is left
the storm itself tore me from the tree
and while I was croaking on my knees
the shimmer of the axe I could not avoid to see
the rope around my neck that did not break
the flash stays my light as I am standing there
I tear the wood - from you revenge to take!
your are many
I am only one
I am alive
and you are gone

| I really like this poem. It is really cool and dark. For me it's kind of confusing, but i still like it. You have a real talent for writing you should enter a contest or something because you have the ability to win. I really really like this poem. |
